What is St. Andrews day?

I could wiki it, but I want the facts.

 

St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, just as St George is the patron saint of England,
St David for Wales and St Patrick for Ireland, they're all celebrated at a given date each year.

 

During St Andrew's it's customary to eat a large meal containing raw pheasant and stuffing balls and then jog 10 miles in honour of the great St Andrew who supposedly did this every Sunday in an attempt to remedy his aching haemorrhoids.

These days Scottish normally just shoot a pigeon and do a bit of Wii Fit or something.

 

Nick Clegg is the patron saint of Wales.
